Realizing You're a Narcissist: How Long Did It Take?

I have always believed that I was superior and had for the most part of my life felt like my opinions and beliefs were higher up

it’s definitely confusing. I can trace back everything i’ve done to personal gain even in “nice situations” which is easy to brush off as “human nature” or whatever but in congruence with the other symptoms eg: serial ghosting, feeling “fundamentally different” than my peers ect it’s both hard to deny and accept.
